Corgis are about the size of domestic cats. I figure that Obama, a dog lover, got to meet them, and Trump didn't. We will likely soon find out (the late Queen was extremely secretive!) Small dogs have big teeth and claws, and they have the power with which to express their opinions of people with those teeth and claws. Take it from me: dog claws are dangerous!

The Chaplin character (Chaplin was British) is a mockery of a real dictator, unlike the wannabe that Trump was (and still is). George Orwell... well, we know the connection to Trump, don't we?

PB, what's all this LW propaganda accomplishing these days?

If you can't laugh about someone like Donald Trump, then you will cry or go mad. Can't you laugh about Trump? 

... The generational cycle may not give a perfect match. Mel Brooks would have been perfect for skewering Trump much as he skewered you-know-who, except that he is now too old to do comedy. Of course we are approaching the time in which the successors of the Silent will appear on the entertainment scene, and I expect them to do comedy well.

I laugh about you guys and the Left's obsession with Trump all the time. So, do you know that you spend the bulk of your time doing propaganda ? You're issue ain't Trump. You're issue is the worthless piece of shit that you and others elected to replace him. It's to bad the majority of the country is now paying a significant price for YOUR carelessness and utter stupidity. Like I've said, you can all starve to death, freeze to death, be beaten to death or murdered by ghetto slugs or rounded up, exterminated, grounded up and turned into fertilizer for all that I care at this point. So, I suggest that you enjoy this moment because the road ahead is going to be very rough for all you guys. Now, I'm not on your side as you know. I'm on the American side like I've always been. As I've told you, this is going to boil down to the Americans vs the Democrats and a Democratic population that's mainly aloof, worried about other issues than what matters to most and finding itself in a position of being decimated.

I live in Michigan, and we Michigan liberals had much to dread going into the 2022 election. Michigan went from having 14 to 13 Congressional Representatives. and the GOP was the Party to lose a seat. Democrats swept statewide offices against some extremists and loonies (sometimes both). By referendum we have one of the most liberal stands on abortion and contraception. We liberals get a little delight laughing at some of the nutcases that they defeated at the polls. let alone those terrorists convicted for plotting to kidnap our Governor. Of course we need stop laughing as we have work to do to make Michigan better. 

Classic X'er, what constitutes America is changing under your nose. You are on the side of cruelty, which has much the same consequences whether Commies, fascists, or people simply  full of ethnic hatreds exercise it. E pluribus unum has grown from thirteen recently-freed colonies trying to piece together a national entity to fifty in the most powerful empire that the world has known. Unlike the other empires this one is an Empire of Liberty. But not only has E pluribus unum gone from referring to a political entity with thirteen stars on its flag to one with fifty, it also refers to a multi-ethnic society in which most of us recognize the validity of very different religious and ethnic origins having traditions appropriate for themselves. Most of us recognize those traditions as far more enriching than divisive. If we keep things this way we keep our freedom and likely make any attack upon the USA a catastrophic blunder. If we abandon our respect for difference in America, then the USA will implode much as did the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Soviet Union did.  The United States is not a nation-state. As it is we have in our cultural heritage such comic geniuses as Charlie Chaplin and Mel Brooks ridiculing the vilest people to have ever lived and getting away with it.  

As a liberal I have had to consider what such a concept as "law and order" means. Genuine law and order is the most important of all civil rights because without it no life or property is safe. Freedom of speech means nothing if a lynch mob can punish the expression of ideas that that lynch mob thinks worthy of a hanging or tarring-and-feathering. Freedom of religion means nothing if one can detonate a bomb or mow people down at a place of worship with impunity. I am firmly for LGBT rights because such make life safer for someone like me who has been attacked for real or imagined homosexuality  (I'm straight. Gay porn does not turn me on). I'm not saying that we need brutal enforcement of the laws, only fair and effective even if rigid. 

Donald Trump is becoming an object of ridicule in America as the political climate changes. Remember that we are much closer to the end of this 4T today than we were a week ago -- just as people were starting to cast ballots on the last day of the 2022 election. Donald Trump failed to do what other defeated one-term Presidents have typically done, which is to separate oneself from partisan politics. Loudmouth boor as Trump is, he chose to act as if he were rightfully still President.   His stench still permeates our political reality. It is just as well. Trump remains all too real.
